Good post. I think we're both optimists and I , for one, would have it no other way so long as I'm holding the stock.
Considering what Putin and the tovarish have done to Shell and will most likely do to BP, the fact that the Russian thing never came off for us might have been a blessing in disguise. That cabal would never have allowed a successful venture without extracting a large price or perhaps taking it over, completely, once it was established. I hope the company stays away from those South American Leftists, too. Of course, if Chavez gets his way, there may not be many countries left to deal with. :)
